]]>Just as student life is challenging and difficult, there are life lessons that every person should learn in other to succeed after school.

1. Life Is Expensive

As a student you are probably surviving on the allowance you receive from your parents right now and you have realized that life can be expensive.

Sure life is expensive, just wait until you have to live on your own without any more support from anybody.

You will really get to know this during your service year or when you are through with NYSC.

By the time you start paying house rent, transport fares, water bills, light bills, food, utilities, and other miscellaneous expenses that you do not even include in your budget.

Sometimes you check your bank account balance only to realize that you have nothing there and there is no hope for money anytime soon.

Everything lies on planning and saving up for rainy days. Avoid debts and lavish lifestyle when you know that you do not really have that much.

2. Never Be Scared To Take Chances

This is one of the most important life lessons you have to learn before graduation. Never be scared to take chances. You will never get to anywhere if you do not take calculated risks every time.

I’m not saying that you have to start swimming with crocodiles, but you have to know that nothing good comes so easy. It’s the hard truth you have to believe as a young person that is growing up with dreams of making it to the top.

Your twenties and thirties are your best age range to explore the best opportunities available in life and implement them. You can always make it even at a young age. Don’t wait till you are 40 before you choose to begin that project you have in mind. Success at an early age is a guarantee for any risk taker.

3. Learn How To Interact With People

Learning how to interact is a very important skill you need to have. It’s a “street smart” skill. You could read a million books on how to interact with people, but you need to put it into practice constantly until it becomes a part of you.

This skill will always be tested each time you go for a job interview. You will need this skill more if you are an entrepreneur. Learn to greet people with a smile. Don’t be too quick to dismiss the power of appreciation, say “thank you, please and I appreciate” whenever a situation deems necessary.

Make friends and get to know people you spend more than 30 minutes with.

Learn to be always positive and make people laugh or smile after talking with you. Who knows?! You might meet your own saviour.

4. Get a Skill Together With Your Certificate.

What you should be doing at your spare time is getting as much skills as possible, as long as you have the passion for it. Do not say I’m studying Engineering what do I need to learn HTML for?! If you are versatile in computer programming, take up some programming courses. The skills you acquire do not always have to be educational. You could learn Tailoring, Baking, Shoe-making, Carpentry, etc.

You never know what that skill you consider as minor would turn to in the nearest future.

5. Start Saving Up Something

Start saving now and you’ll be setting the foundation for your financial future. There is always a need to save, even if it’s the tiniest bit of what you have left each month. Like we said earlier, life is expensive and the best way to get prepared is to start saving now. Whether it’s for a big purchase or for a need that will arise, those days will always come.

6. Success Takes Time

After applying these tips, you don’t need to expect everything to workout for you overnight. Be patient as success needs time to mature. No legal riches come to anyone in a blink of an eye. You need to exercise patience and watch your hard work manifest.

7. You Are Going To Need Lots Of Hard work

You are now a graduate or near graduation, you will no longer have to be reading all night to write difficult examinations. Your life should be easy from here right?! No. In fact this is where you will face most of life’s struggles. Although you could relax and search for a federal government job that assures you pension after retirement, but the world is changing. You will have to develop yourself the more after getting your degree.

You need to work harder to reach that goal you desire. Even if you are from a wealthy home, it’s still hard work that will help you to maintain all that money else you wake up not seeing them again. Share with friends.

1. How was your day?

Don’t always assume that your children’s day was all fun, you as a parent need to ask them and get the full detail of how their day went. This will help you understand what your children pass through during the day, their problems, needs and ways you can help make their days always daisy.

Never miss asking this question, because your child on the other hand will feel loved and cared for whenever you do. Asking this question will make your child open up to you as a parent and confide in you whenever he/she has a bad day at school.

2. Hope you are fine today?

The response you get when you ask this question is very crucial when trying to find out about how your child feels. Knowing that your children are fine is something that brings joy to many parents. But on the contrary, when you get a negative response from your children, it will guide you to knowing the area to work on to make sure your children are fine.

3. Tell me something good that happened today.

Every active child will always have something to say about events that took place in school. You need to always ask your children about something that happened. This will help your monitor your child’s activities in a way.

4. How many subjects were you taught today?

This helps you assess your children’s academic capabilities. After asking this question, your child can then tell you about the ones that interest him/her. There is always a room for testing to know if your child really gave rapt attention in class while the subjects were taught.

5. Which subject did you find more interesting?

This is another way of assessing your child’s academic performance. If your child finds a particular subject interesting, then you should try and help him excel in that subject and find a way of making the teacher know about the other subjects he finds uninteresting.

6. Who made you sad in Class?

This does not mean you will go and confront the person for your child. But if your child is open to bully in school, you can report to the school for a good measure to be taken to keep your child from facing intimidation as it has a negative influence on children growing up. You can help your children by advising them not to stay close to people that make them sad, and also advise them to stand to their right and not be weak when intimidated.

7. Who did you sit with today during lunch?

Ask about your children’s friends and who they hang out with while in school. Your child will be happy to know that you are also interested in their affairs.

8. Were you given homework today?

As a parent that wants your children’s success academically, you should not forget to ask if they were given homework to do after school. This goes a long way in improving your children academically. Continuous questions pertaining to school work like homework will make them well prepared for higher level of education were you will not always be there to advise them to do their homework.

9. Did you take your lunch today?

Something can make your child to skip lunch and you need to know about it. Your child’s eating habit at school is also a thing to keep an eye on.

]]>You might have been asking yourself this question, Is a bar business lucrative? Should i start a bar business? Do not be confused, a Bar Business is very lucrative and is something i can advice anybody that has the will to go for it.

Starting a bar business in Nigeria has been one lucrative business some people just don’t know. Bars generate much income on a daily basis as people who drink make it a culture to always take at least a bottle every day to keep their head high.

Heineken has it that so many Nigerians have increased their drinking habit despite the economic downturn. This is a plus for bar owners as they will continue to be in business no matter the state of the economy.

From what I’ve noticed around my community, the male folks tend to have a great time with each other when drinking and because of this drinking seems to be an activity that brings friends together.

Bars that are open till midnight have more sales than those that are open only during daytime. This is so because many people love drinking at night after working hours.

To experience success in your bar business you need to consider these tips:

Location

The first thing you should have in mind when planning on coming to this line of business should be the location of the bar. Your bar should be located in a busy and visible environment where you can be patronized by many customers.

You should have a spacious bar and serene place for customers that would want to drink outside.

Brands

The kinds of drinks that you sell also affects the number of customers you have. This is so because if you are selling a brand of drink that many people do not like, then you are likely going to lose your customers to the next competing bar that has the type of drink that many people are looking for.

Price of drinks

This is another sensitive and important thing to note when considering starting a bar. How you sale your drinks will have a great impact on your customer base. As a starter, you have to lower your profit limit and try to build up the number of customers you want.

Some beers sell for 250 naira per bottle, and some for 300 or 400 depending on the company.

You can choose to give out promos during festive seasons. You will realise that the more people buy from you the greater your gain.

Generator

To be on the safe side when you have power outage during the day or night, you need a powerful generator in your bar. You need a generator that will be able to power your freezer. You will not want to sell drinks that are not cold as beers are always served cold.

Barbecue

Having a barbecue in your bar is another way of making additional money to yourself and also a way of attracting customers. A bar business is not complete without a Suya, Sharwama or Grilled chicken spot. This is what will motivate customers to always come out to your bar to chill in the evening.

Selling things like cigarettes and cigars also have a way of making a bar have more customers. Some people choose to go to bars where smoking is allowed.

Music

Having music in place makes a bar lively. Music triggers relaxation and the joy music brings will allow for more bottles to be drank. Your bar should not be dull, you need to spice it up with latest songs for maximum enjoyment of your customers.

You need to be alert and know the latest songs. Services of a DJ or live band can also be subscribed to so that your bar does not lag behind.

Hire more hands

A standard bar should have a bartender, this will make it easier when serving customers. Without additional hands, you will be left alone to do all the cleaning, stocking and serving.

Employ someone to help you out with some of the work in the bar. Advert placement might be helpful.

Will be discussing the essential traits of a successful graphic designer

If you want to make it as a graphic designer, there are endless new devices, smart apps and social sharing out there to help you make it happen.

But what about things money can’t buy?

Aside from talent, what are the characteristics, qualities and mindsets needed to make it in this ever-changing creative industry as graphics designer

Below are what it takes to become a successful graphic designer.

Communication

A designer’s job is to communicate a client’s story, brand and ideas, but you’ll also need good communication skills in order to present, charm and negotiate for your work. It’s imperative to maintain professional in tricky situations and to be clear with a client on the brief and more also interms of convincing a client it needs to clear.

2. Curiosity

You won’t get far in design if you don’t have a love of art, or a curiosity for the world around you. Designers love to look beyond the surface of things, to explore both the minute detail and the big picture of mankind and nature.

3. Passion and Drive

You don’t end up in a creative industry unless you do what you love. But even with passion and talent, design is a labour of love.

The work inevitably entails odd hours, long edits, bizarre briefs and tricky workloads. You have to use that passion to keep going when you are exhausted but you know it could make it better. You learn to balance projects and master time management.

4. Openness

In graphic design you have to be open-minded, willing to try new things and comfortable taking advice from unexpected sources. Great designers often share pieces of themselves in their work, so you can’t be afraid to expose yourself and wear your heart on your sleeve.

5. Ability to Take Criticism

Possibly the toughest thing for any designer, but everyone has to deal with criticism. As a designer, you have to be good at taking direction to improve your work and build on communication. It’s an evolving process and often produces positives in the end.

6. Problem Solving

As well as the aesthetic aspect of design, it’s good to enjoy the problem solving side too. As a designer you have to think logistically and critically to make things work. Creativity is needed not only to produce something brilliant, but also to work out how the pieces fit together and turn ideas into a finished product.

7. Self-doubt

A little self-doubt can be a good thing in the design world. It’s self-doubt that ensures you are constantly assessing your decisions and striving to do better. It’s healthy to question and challenge yourself!

8. Patience

]]>Everyday people are sewing clothes either for occasions or for their work. Tailors are making lots of money from the clothes they sew every day.

What is tailor

a person whose occupation is making fitted clothes such as suits, trousers, and jackets to fit individual customers.

Definition credit :Wikipedia

You can start a tailoring business if you have passion for sewing. To own a tailoring shop you don’t have to be a professional tailor at first. You can open the tailoring shop and then learn how to sew afterwards.

Note:To start a tailoring business in Nigeria, you always have to be at the shop to monitor what your employees are doing so that you know the number of clothes that they sew each day.

You should also sell lace materials, wrappers and other wearable in your shop as your customers will always want to buy clothes when they see that you have them in your tailoring shop. If you are sewing male clothes, selling cuff-links, watches, and other accessories is also a nice way to make extra money.

Tailoring business is very lucrative in this part of the world as people cannot stay without sewing new clothes especially during festive seasons. Women alone sew many clothes and that niche is most lucrative than their male counterpart though both pays well.

Before starting out, you should bear it in mind that you need some amount of money to get the equipment to start a tailoring business, pay for shop rent, search for a good location, employ professional tailors, and for you to make more passive income you should also provide additional services like embroidery, sales of machine oil, linens, threads and needles.

This article is geared toward letting you know what you require when starting a tailoring business. You are required to read it carefully as it will help you out.

What you need to start your tailoring business and make money

Choose a better Location

Yes !! A good location determines your successful in tailoring business in Nigeria

A good location is what drives a business and make it stand out among the rest. To be successful in your tailoring business, you need to rent a shop in a nice, busy and serene environment that you can be noticed and approached for business.

Though as a tailor your customers will always locate you if you know how to sew very well, you also need a location that is accessible to people. You need a place that you will have constant light to use and iron fabrics or do embroidery.

Buy Original equipment

When buying equipment to start tailoring business, you need to invest in original and cost effective equipment. You don’t need equipment that will break down while you are working. A failed machine will bring about delay in a customer’s work and may cost you to lose your customers.

Employ only professional tailors

When you want to start a tailoring business, you can decide to employ professional tailors and then learn tailoring from them. This is cost effective as you only need to buy the equipment and then employ them to be sewing while you pay them. Along the line if you want to learn, you can learn from them in an easier way without having to pay another tailor outside to learn sewing again.

Calculate your cost

As a business person, your main aim is to make profit from your tailoring business. You have to calculate what it took you to open the tailoring shop and know the rate at which you bill your customers. When starting your tailoring business, do not overcharge or undercharge your customers. You should also ask to know what other tailors bill on different clothing styles.

Provide additional services

This is what usually brings about extra money to all tailors. If you have embroidery machine in your shop, other tailors will always come around to do embroideries with you and you will earn cash. You can also sell other tailoring kits like machine oil, tapes, chalk, threads, and needles

Provide room for training

People will always want to come and train with you. You should be open to persons willing to learn tailoring. Training usually comes with a fee. Say if you have several students learning tailoring from you, you in turn bill the cash for teaching them. When the time elapses, they can decide to pay again if during the period not all was learnt.

Furnish your shop

Your tailoring shop should be appealing to your customers. You should furnish it well for it to look nice. Keep well cushioned chairs for your customers to sit down; if possible you can keep a television as a side attraction to your customers.

Market and advertise your tailoring business

You can do this by word of mouth, telling all your friends. You can still meet a graphics designer to design a custom business card for you, print and share flyers at public places. By doing this, you will be known by many people. Radio and Television advertisement too is also relevant when marketing your business.

Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram can also help you reach out to a large number of persons needing your service.

Entertain your customers

You can entertain your customers by giving them catalogues containing different clothing designs to look at. Believe me if your customers see a nice clothing they may be forced to come and sew them. These tricks do work everywhere. You can succeed as a tailor if you follow these simple steps contained in this article.

Conclusion

Many persons do not believe in craft, but they really want money. I carefully researched on this topic because I know how difficult it is finding a job that pays well in the country at the moment.

White collar jobs will not pay you the way a craft will. You should learn a handiwork. I have seen a lecturer learning how to sew because he knows what he will save if he can be the one to be sewing clothes for his children and even his friends.

Tailoring job is very outstanding and lucrative and I would advise any young person that is not yet working to go for it and watch his/her life change from broke to rich.

Be consistent

Consistency play a major role in any weight loss routine you are engaged in. You don’t work out because you feel like doing so, rather it is because you want to achieve a certain goal. In this case losing weight is the goal. You may wake up to feel pains all over your body that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t continue your task. Take some pain relief pills and continue your work-out routine.

Be optimistic

You have been working out for a week now but when you stepped on that scale instead of reducing your weight is adding up. Don’t be discouraged, keep working out. Maybe there are some things you are not doing right. Seek help from an expert. You gain nothing by giving up.

Give your body some Rest

Overworking the body while undergoing any exercise is not advice. Because you want to lose weight doesn’t mean you shouldn’t rest. Workout experts suggests that while undergoing any work-out routine, the body should be given rest days to regain strength and repair muscle tissues. If you are working out on Monday and Tuesday, let Wednesday be your rest day. continue your routine on Thursday and Friday then let your weekend be your weekend be free.

Limit alcohol intake

For years now, alcohol consumption has been known to be a major cause of obesity. Alcohol more calories than carbs and protein. It also increases appetite and hinders fat burning. Alcohol also weakens the immune system thus making the body susceptible to diseases. You cannot work our when your body is not feeling fine.

Anyone who is engaged in any weight loss program should keep alcohol consumption at the barest minimum. Those bottles of beer you gulp down your stomach every weekend is slowing down your weight loss progress

Maintain a low carb diet

This is where many people seem to be unproductive in their weight loss work-out program. Working out and maintaining your normal high carb diet can be a complete waste of time and resources. It is like burning fat and eating more of them back.

Foods that are high in carbohydrates such as sugar, highly processed food and refined grains should be avoided. Proteins, vegetables, Whole grains and healthy fats and oils are recommended.

You can as check up a reliable wet loss diet plan online. Reduce the quantity of the food you have been eating because packing all those mass into your body will only result to more calories consumption thereby thwarting your effort.

Keep track of your progress.

Record everything right from the first day of your wet loss work-out routine. Write down your total calories consumption for each day, I mean every single calories including the calories contained in that soft drink you drank at your friend’s place. Record your work-out progress.

Check your weight at least once a week and record the result. Check your body fat level with an expert because you may be burning fat and your weight does not reduce immediately. Lastly get in front of a mirror and take a mirror selfie each week and compare the results.

Hire a workout trainer.

If you are not making progress on your own, it may because you are doing it the wrong way and the simplest way to fix this is hiring an expert in the field. A Work-out trainer will guide you on how go about any task in a routine. A trainer also know how to keep track of your progress as well as managing your diet.

Register at a gym.

Registering at a gym keeps you motivated because you get to meet different people working out to achieve a particular goal. When you see other people being serious you will definitely want to work hard unless you don’t value the money you paid for registration. One of the advantages of registering at gym is that you get to work with a professional trainer.
